Mystery / Koan

the impulse to hide what I'm doing at my computer still sits so deep even tho I'm literally never looking at anything objectionable , the door will open and I'll hurry to close the page like oh fuck no one can know I'm looking at the Wikipedia page for the Balkans

I've kidnapped an angel and I am forcibly implanting it with a human personality. This is the hottest and least ethical thing I've ever done in my life

War

Famine

Pestilence

Death

I've had enough of the "Geeta is weak and lame" jokes. I'm launching my "Geeta is hilarious" agenda. This woman is "proper law and bureaucracy must be followed", "conflict and battling are what shall evolve humanity" AND "battle hungry maniac" At The Same Time, and not only would any one these traits Individually make a villain, together they manifest as Something That Resembles Lawful Good. Her battle lines consist of her genuinely praising you and laughing maniacally At The Same Time. Like half the people working under her hate her guts, half are terrified of her and half treat her as the main thing holding the region together, which let's be honest, she is. She has been described as dragging people into their job positions and how forcefully she did so is up to your interpretation, and given how she handpicked most of the people in the League AND the Academy, that says a Lot. She delegates her constitutional job to beat up her subordinates to you so she has free time to beat up everyone in the school she owns. She rejects bribes from real estate billionaires. Her ace pokemon is an eldritch flower from the fucked up crater she forbids access to. She has a goat. Geeta. is the woman of all time.

So basically, Correspondence pumpkin

Some older pieces I finished. I was on some wlw cocaine drawing these I’m obsessed

Today, I have learned something new about pizza against my will.

If honey is used as a topping, and the pie is not allowed to rest or cool before immediately transferring to the box and subjecting it to the bustles inherent to such transportation…

It will utterly fail to constitute itself into a proper pie- rather, the cheese oils and honey will congeal into a slick, runny, and yet incredibly sticky substance which will nigh instantaneously begin to soak its way through, at first the grease paper, and then immediately thereafter the cardboard proper of the box, leaving a puddle of this texturally nightmarish oil on whatever surface you had deigned to rest it upon. For instance, one’s desk.

Needless to say, I am acutely displeased by this incidental discovery.

In the spirit of encouraging people to comment on fanfics while also making it easier to do so, I feel obliged to share a browser extension for ao3 that has quite literally revolutionized the comment game for me.

I present to you: the floating ao3 comment box!

From what I've seen, a big problem for many people is that once you reach the comments at the bottom of a fic, your memory of it miraculously disappears. Anything you wanted to say is stuck ten paragraphs ago, and you barely remember what you thought while reading. This fixes that!

I'll give a little explanation on the features and how it works, but if you want to skip all that, here's the link.

The extension is visible as a small blue box in the upper left corner.

(Side note: The green colouring is not from the extension, that's me.)

If you click on it, you open a comment box window at the bottom of your screen but not at the bottom of the fic. I opened my own fic for demonstrative purposes.

The website also gives explanations on how exactly it functions, but I'll summarize regardless.

insert selection -> if you highlight a sentence in the fic it will be added in italics to the comment box

add to comment box -> once you're done writing your comment, you click this button and the entire thing will automatically copied to the ao3 comment box

delete -> self explanatory

on mulitchapter fics, you will be given the option to either add the comment to just the current chapter or the entire fic

The best part? You can simply close the window the same way you opened it and your progress will automatically be saved. So you can open it, comment on a paragraph, and then close it and keep reading without having the box in your face.

Comments are what keep writers going, and as both a writer and a reader, I think it's such an easy way of showing support and enthusiasm.
